ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of the Week.
Personal Mention.
ANACONDA, December 11.-[Correspond.
ence of The Miner.]-Friday and Saturday
were paydays of the Anaconda Company,
and the town ia c~orrespondingly lively. The
roll for the past month was very large,
about 100000 being disbursed. A
change OF programme has postponed indefi'
nitely the starting up of the stamp mill
which was to have taken place on the first.
Some changes are being made in the Old
smeltsr. A number OF the roller crushers,
or Cornish rolls, as they are general called
are to be supplanted by large steam
stamps. which experience proves to be by
far the most effective machinery Tor the
crushing of rock. Six OF these have been
nut in at the new works; one is ready
for vorE, and tho others are being pushed
towards completion rs rapidly as possible.
